Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 7

[happyhornet]

This one is my exit hand from last nights WSOP final. 3 hours in and 58 left. I have doubled up three hands ago and sit with 4296 chips. This is still about half of the average and I am in about 50th place. Blinds are 300/600 with 75 ante, and I figure that I need to make a move soon. My table image is 'tighter than a duck's arse'. UTG (12581 chips) limps, it is folded around to me. I have AQs. I pushed all-in. He waited for what seemed an age and called. He had 66 and they held up. I am so unsure whether that was the right move in this particular circumstance with such a big prize not too far away. Should I played it differently, waited to be first into the pot? As an aside, what do people think of calling for over a quarter of his chips with 66? Not sure I would have done that either. As always any thoughts positive and negative are gratefully received.

Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 7 i dont think either of you made a particularly bad move at this point:ok you were getting very near the point where you will have to push whatever happens. although aq isn't the absolute best hand in the world, it isn't behind to much and with a limper the extra blind could help a lot. its pretty unlikely someone would limp in with aces/kings/queens/ak this late in the tourney from utg, so chances were you had a race at worst. although his call looks a little rough, he knows he can and not be seriously crippled if you win . also your holding could be a little less than the norm or could be a steal.this really shouldnt effect 6s to much anyway as its likely to be a race at best , with a decent pot to be had it's probably worth the risk to get to a point of relative safety in the game without the risk of going out, or being crippled:ok
